Chapter Two
Umbrella's Weapon
"Project kill all Warner civilians activated," Alice said plainly.
The others looked to her, unsure what to make out of what she'd just said. It didn't take long after that for Alice to open the vehicle's door and head to the back of the car. She grabbed two Uzis and plenty of ammo. Then she began walking down the street without bothering to close the door.
"What's she doing?" Jill asked as she looked to Carlos.
"Angela, stay in the car," Carlos said getting out as Jill and LJ followed. "Something's not right."
Carlos was the first to make it to Alice. He stood in front of her, blocking her way, as Jill and LJ joined ranks with him. It was then that Alice stopped, but it wasn't because they stood in front of her. Her eyes were focused on a man walking down the sidewalk. She raised her Uzis and began firing. Valentine reacted by tackling her to the ground, but not before the man got several bullets in him. He was dead before he hit the ground. Now people were beginning to walk out of their houses to see what was going on. Alice noticed this and smiled. People were idiots, just like the zombies they were drawn to sound, the sound that would cause their deaths.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!" Jill yelled.
Alice effortlessly shoved Jill off of her and got up. She shoved right through Carlos and LJ, who stood in her way. Carlos then ran after her trying to stop her from killing anyone else, but before he could get close to her, she turned around and punched him causing him to fall back and hit the ground several feet away. Jill and LJ froze when they saw he wasn't moving.
"No!" Valentine yelled running towards her fallen partner.
She kneeled beside him to see that he was still breathing, but she had knocked him out cold with one punch. She sighed happily knowing that he was only unconscious. It wasn't something to celebrate, but at least he wasn't dead. LJ looked like he was about to do something, but Jill stopped him.
"You can't stop her," Jill said putting one of Olivera's arms over her shoulder and pulling him up. "Help me get him into the car."
LJ supported Carlos's other arm around him. They carried the man into the backseat of the vehicle and laid him down. Angela was looking over the backseat at him with a worried look at him.
"Is he going to be okay," she asked with her voice shaking.
"He'll be fine in a few hours," Jill said as she headed to the back door. "You two watch him. I'll be back in a minute."
"Yo, wait," LJ said looking at her like she was crazy. "You goin' after her. What, she smack you in the head too?"
Jill just ignored him and grabbed her Sub Machines, her favorite guns. She took off down the street after Alice. The woman had vanished from her sight, but she could tell by the sound of gunfire that she was close. As she ran down the street she saw bodies lying on almost every corner with bullet wounds and snapped necks. There was the sound of screams everywhere. It wasn't near as bad as Raccoon City, but it was horrible. There was a little girl who couldn't have been more than seven with her head twisted at ninety degree angle. Jill gulped at the sight, but kept following the sound of guns. She became amazed at how fast Alice was moving and killing all of these people at the same time.
Finally as Jill turned another street she saw Alice. She had just snapped some guy's neck. She hid behind some dumpster, as she watched her friend continue killing without a care. People were running down the street away from her, until one big, chubby guy came out of his house with a shotgun. He pointed it at her and put his finger on the trigger. Alice was just standing there staring at him with a smile on her face. Jill was going through one of those moments when all you can do if watch. Suddenly the guy looked at his finger tips which were beginning to get bloody. He began to panic when his eyes suddenly began tearing blood. It was coming from everywhere, out of his ears and nose, and out of cuts that were forming all over his body. He was yelling and crying at the same time as cuts kept appearing everywhere. Alice had the scariest smile on her face that Valentine had ever seen. Valentine just stared, eyes wide open, at what she was seeing before her. The guy dropped the shotgun and fell to the ground, painting the grass around him red.
Jill's mouth dropped wide open. How the hell did she just do that? What had Umbrella done to her? No one could stop her if she could do that whenever she wanted to. But now wasn't the time for questions, she had to get Alice to come back to her senses.
"Call her, she won't do that to you," Jill said to herself. "Come on, she wouldn't would she? No, Alice wouldn't, but this may not be Alice. Great, now I am talking and answering to myself. Okay, here it goes."
She emerged from behind the dumpster and began walking down the street towards Alice, who seemed to be admiring her kill. Jill held her Subs in her hand but didn't point them at her. She didn't want to threaten her.
"Alice."
She slowly looked away from the dead man and to Jill. The way she was staring at her put fear in the ex-cop. Analyzing the brunette, she saw on her scan that she wasn't a Warner citizen, but she had two guns. Threat: Minimal flashed in her head.
"Alice, what are you doing?" Jill was walking slowly towards her. "It's all in your head. Those freaks did this to you. Don't kill anymore people, Alice."
This person still wasn't dropping her guns, but she hadn't been instructed to kill her. So, she wouldn't kill her if she wasn't told, but she still could get her off of her back easily. Alice raised her Uzi fasterthan Valentine could blink and shot her in the shoulder. Jill gasped as she fell back onto the ground from the force of the bullet, dropping her guns at the same time. Alice smiled and continued walking down the night lit street looking for civilians. That bitch wouldn't be a threat to her anymore.
Jill looked at her shoulder and then back to Alice. They couldn't be controlling her could they? No, not Alice, anyone but Alice, it could be anyone but the only person on the planet who could stop the Umbrella Corporation. If she was lost, all hope was lost. Alice was almost out of sight when Jill yelled her name once more with the slightest hope that she'd turn her head, but it was useless. Alice was gone. For the first time in a long while a tear shed from Valentine's eye. Not from the awful pain in her shoulder, but for the fact that Umbrella had won.
